Presented is one of modern-card collecting's most desirable signed trading cards: the 1986-1987 Fleer Basketball rookie card of Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Virtually since its year of issue, this card has been one of the hobby's most important and desirable cards. Its prestige and value have risen sharply in recent times, cementing its legacy within the hobby for generations to come. While the supply of these cards remains plentiful, the population of authentic signed examples pales in comparison, and the offered example is one of the very few we have seen come to market with both an impressive card grade and a high-quality signature. The card is graded NM/MT+ 92 by SGC and presents with bold colors, outstanding centering, four strong corners, and near-flawless borders. Jordan has signed boldly in blue fine-tip marker, and SGC has assigned a grade of "8" to the signature. This is a remarkably attractive example with a tremendous overall display value. An outstanding signed rookie card worthy of any advanced Michael Jordan or signed basketball-card collection. Full LOA from Steve Grad, Brian Sobrero, and Larry Studebaker/Beckett Authentication Services. Reserve $5,000. Estimate (open).
